Cheeky and charming, Huda F are You? details the all too familiar teenage struggle of trying to figure out who the F you are. Huda Fahmy's teenage struggles have an extra intersectional layer of figuring herself out as a person and as a Muslim, and her sense of humor and charm shines through in her writing. 

The art itself is very simple, very much like a Sunday newspaper comic, but I found that worked really well for the lightness of the story. It also made a few more serious scenes have a bit more of an impact. 

This is a perfect graphic novel for younger teens either exploring their identity, and/or learning about other cultures/people/etc.
